It's about more than fashion for us!
Kids Fashion Week Network is a non-profit 501c3, tax-exempt organization that is for kids and by kids. Established in 2017, KFW has created a lane for youth and teen entrepreneurs working in fashion, the arts, and business (FAB). We provide resume building opportunities for them to grow and work with other industry giants.
The youth in our network are the next generation of creatives, innovative leaders, and entrepreneurs. We are passionate about exposing them to all of the elements of business by preparing them for promising careers. We believe it is important to foster strong industry relationships early, so they can grow, and create, together in this adult-dominated industry. We have headquarters in Washington DC, San Diego, and New Orleans.
Each year we produce a high-quality runway show with celebrity hosts, an audience of VIPS and parents, and a cast of talented youth designers, models, and other talented youth.

-
